Been doing this for 21 years. My resume is 1 page.

2 pages max

One page. Pick a template that can get enough of your info in there (smaller margins). There’s no reason a potential employer would take the time to read a two pager while scouring through hundreds of one pagers already. Also, hopefully you know someone at the company for the job you’re applying for. Resumes are getting lost in the system these days

That was my gut feeling too! Thank you for validating.

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well.

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
